Suddenly, there was an enormous flash of light, the brightest light I have ever seen or that I think anyone has ever seen. It blasted it pounced it bored its way into you.

The scientist does not defy the universe. He accepts it. It is his dish to savor, his realm to explore it is his adventure and never-ending delight. It is complaisant and elusive but never dull. It is wonderful both in the small and in the large. In short, its exploration is the highest occupation for a gentleman.
Isidor Isaac Rabi

Isidor Isaac Rabi
I think physicists are the Peter Pans of the human race. They never grow up and they keep their curiosity.
Isidor Isaac Rabi
[Science is] a great game. It is inspiring and refreshing. The playing field is the universe itself.
